TWELVE THOUSAND A YEAR.
Savannah's Port Charges and Who
Has to PAY Them.

Editor Morning Ne,Os: Any interest, or
community of interests, which cannot pay
its current expenses is in a bad way. 1t is
the real estate and fixed Interests that must
pay municipal expenses, and any attempt
to charge these upon floating or transient
interests must surely react on the authors
For many years the continuity of railway
lines was broken at every important place,
in order that the inhabitants might levy
tribute on travel and merchandise, but
eventually some live cities gave through
connection, and at once the broken route
towns were left desolate. Now they all
boast of Through route, without change"
Some time ago we published to the world
waters between May and November
were liable to sickness, and this entailed
a charge for shipkeepers and boarding
crews on shore equal to Soc a thousand on
all lumber exported from Savannah, and
the ship-owner added it to his freight rate,
and the producer has it to pay, because he
must compete with Charleston, Brunswick
and Fernandina, where no such charge is
made. In New York wharf-owners at
tempt to make the ship pay wharfage ON
cargo landed, but the ship-owner quietly
adds it to his freight and the current rate
on lumber to New York to-day is So, but if
free of wharfage it is s. IS. Vessels will
take cargoes to the farthest windward
island, or even to the Spanish main, at as
low or lesser rate than to the island of
Cuba mot half so far because of the exces-
sive port charges at these latter ports. and
thus the Cubans themselves pay the tax
which they fondly suppose is being levied
on free shipping.
The city of Savannah levies a duty OF
$12, 900 as harbor dues on ulr shipping
under the delusive idea that it is so much
clear gain but every dollar of such charges
is counted in by the ship owner, and as com
pared with Charleston, Brunswick and Fer
nandina where these dues are not exacted
| the shipper of cotton, rosin and lumber has
| to pay this $4,000 No law of nature is
more fixed than is this, that all free agents
and interests will avoid or select those
places of trade which do or do not attempt
| to saddle their own expenses on others who
are free to come into the trap or not as may
| be best for themselves.
1t takes a long time to lift the circumlo
| cution element which unfortunately domi
| mates this city out of its old routine, but il
must some time rise from the dead past t,

A Lively Whirl,

It takes live methods to succeed in any
thing. Business doesn't come to the mer
chant who waits We don't propose to
wait. For weeks we have been busy get
ting in large stock of our usua fine grades
of tailor-made suits. We didn't buy it to
keep, but to sell, and now we want to sell it.
You may not be ready to buy yet, yet
many are buying their fall and winter suits
now The early buyer has many advan-
tages over the late one-full lines, large as
sortment and great variety in fabrics-yet
we aim to keep our lines full at all times
In some cases it can't be done, hence we sug-
gest the advantage of early buyers. You
have no idea how well we can serve you;
variety in colors, fabrics and low prices are
our inducements. We assure perfect fits
What more can you ask! Come and go
over our stock with us; your eyes will be
opened. Parents can clothe their boys with
us at great saving. In a word, if we can't
give you the finest assortment, the suggest
fit and the greatest general satisfaction we
don want your order.

throughout may be found thousand valuable
novelties suitable and appropriate as souvenirs

our representative stock on its merits, and stake
our reputation on the result. Our engraving

Experts Render an Opinion in Regard
to Shipping Damaged Cargoes.
The Captains of the steamships Resolute
and Naples called upon Drs Reid and Dun
can on Saturday for an opinion as to
whether it would endanger the lives of their
crews to carry forward the cotton damaged
by the recent fires Both physicians paid a
visit to the wharves yesterday and ex-
amined the cotton, and gave a certificate in
which they stated that, while they had no
data upon which to base an opinion, they
had no apprehension that the transporting Of
the cotton would cause any sickness
among the sailors. In speaking of the mat
ter they said that the sailors had been sleep
ing on board the vessel and they might
have fever from that. If the vessels go TO
sea with the damaged cotton, and sickness
breaks out among the sailors, it might be
attributed to the cargoes, but in their opin.
ions it would be due, not to the cotton, but
to the malaria brought on by sleeping on
the river

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Volume of Trade in Progress Highly Sat-

TIL g Volume of Trade in Progress Highly Sat-
isfactory-Firm Prices A Characteristic.
INDIANAPOLIS, April IA.
In all departments trade is active and mer-
chants cheerful over the situation. A firm tone
to prices prevails on most lines of goods, while
the tendency to higher prices has been checked
which means steady and strong market for
some time to come. The dry goods men say
that their sales this month running far
ahead of those in the corresponding month 1885,
Hardware men speak of their business rluch
after the same manner. Prices in all lines of
dry goods and fancy notions rule steady and
firm. Grocers dong good business, but in
volume it is not so much in excess of last year
as in some other branches of traffic for the rea-
son that April, 1886, of the best
months trade with grocers of the first half of
the year. Coffees maintain their strong position.
Sugars rule firm, but the movements to advance
prices have not materazed. The -four market
is improving somewhat: at least there is better
feeling noticeable DIillers are very firm in their
views. Buyers East do not seem to care whether
the market goes up down, and will not antici-
pate their wants but continue to purchase IN
hand mouth style. The outlook for the wheat
crop is below the average and it certainly cannot
reach in quantity that of last year. consequently
| the position of the -four market is strengthened,
| and there is good reason to believe that flour.
| sixty days from now, will be good property
| The produce markets active, with no
changes in prices calling for mention. Receipts
! of poultry and eggs are steadily increasing,
| while the demand has fallen off somewhat.
| Lower prices next week, il not before, pre-
| dicted
| Owing to the discussion of the operations of
| the interstate-commerce bill. there was no grain
| call ar the session of the Board Of Trade and 20
| Price Current was issued to-day.
